HighRes Texture mirror ptmc.no-ip.org expires - new addresses (unrealtexture.com needs update)

PUBLIC NOTICE
I've been silently running a public mirror server for DieHard's Unreal Texture project several years now at http://ptmc.no-ip.org/s3tc/S3TC and while it is NOT a very fast server and even has a few dropouts a year, it is free of charge, and while I am mostly in the background and not doing much in public for Unreal these days, that doesn't mean I don't care - on the contrary. I want to keep this little contribution up for as long as I can.
A few months back, however, I ran into a problem, 2 actually, and I am intent on fixing them both at the same time. I can no longer use the no-ip service as they are becoming very bothersome and unusable unless you start paying for their service, and I need to close port 80 as well since the amount of automated attack scripts going rampage at that port is just ridiculous.
I have informed DieHard already months back that I need to do this and knowing well his situation I have given him all the possible time I could to let him update all links on www.unrealtexture.com to reflect an already in place replacement, and he had promised me he'd get it done this month, but so far it hasn't happened. Okay this month still has a week left but after my last chat with him I have again not heard a peep in 3 weeks so if I'm not counting on that to happen in the remaining time, please don't hold that against me.
The server will remain available and online as long I can have it so, but the address WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. This was an enormously long time in the making, and now I am running out of time, the change has to be made, with the links on www.unrealtexture.com being corrected or not.
The server can be BROWSED, so anybody who wants to look for a file on it can do so using either of these addresses:
http://ptmc.spdns.org:30080/s3tc/S3TC
or
http://ptmc.linkpc.net:30080/s3tc/S3TC
The no-ip address at port 80 points to exactly the same machine, but at the end of this month that will be done with.
If someone other than DieHard himself has access to the UnrealTexture page and could do the appropriate maintenance, it would be appreciated. If not... there is nothing I can do to delay this further.
Yours truly,
~Wolf
